OSHA issued a new notice:
COVID-19 for Retail Workers, with the following tips:
- Encourage workers to stay home if they are sick.
- Provide a place to wash hands or alcohol-based hand rubs containing at least 60% alcohol.
- Maintain regular housekeeping practices, including routine cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces
and equipment with Environmental Protection Agency-approved cleaning chemicals from List N
or that have label claims against the coronavirus.
- Practice sensible social distancing, maintaining six feet between co-workers and customers,
where possible. For example, some worksites have already begun to demarcate six-foot distances
with floor tape in checkout lines. Workplaces where social distancing is a challenge should
consider innovative approaches, such as opening only every other cash register, temporarily
moving workstations to create more distance, and installing plexiglass partitions.
- Use a drive-through window or curbside pick-up.
- Provide workers and customers with tissues and trash receptacles.
- Train workers in proper hygiene practices and the use of workplace controls.
- Allow workers to wear masks over their nose and mouth to prevent them from spreading the virus.
- Encourage workers to report any safety and health concerns.
